Brocade ICX 6650 Hardware Installation Guide - Manual (Page 42)

Installing an SFP+ transceiver
To monitor the transceivers, the show media command output shows the transceiver information for
all interfaces on the switch. Third-party transceivers are allowed. Brocade provides support for third-
party transceivers, but may require a Brocade transceiver be used for troubleshooting.
Support will not be provided if there is an issue with the third-party transceiver.
Complete the following steps to install an SFP+ transceiver.
1. Remove any protector plugs from the transceivers and the ports.
2. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the SFP+ transceiver in
the correctly oriented position on the port.
NOTE
The QSFP+ 40GbE LR4 optical transceiver is supported in ports 1 and 2 only. When the module
is inserted into a stack-unit/slot number/port number combination that is not 1/2/1 or 1/2/2, the
following error message displays: “QSFP LR-4 optics not supported on port port-number.”
3. Slide the SFP+ transceiver into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.
NOTE
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated edge connector on the bottom. The correct
position to insert an SFP+ transceiver in the upper row of ports is with the gold-plated edge down.
